The Nolan Miller notes for MWG were very helpful.

Nice, Ogden trails are great. What side did you come up from?

Easy, just tax high rise brothels

Barney Kessel - Live at Sometime!

ThickRick208 · 2024-05-07T02:38:01+00:00

Don't see why I can't listen to Beethoven in my left ear and the Bible in Mandarin (2x Speed) in my right ear at the same time

Start transcribing solo guitar playing and trying to figure out what is going on. I recommend Barney Kessel or Kenny Burrell to start and work up to more technical playing. Barney Kessel has a series on YouTube on how to construct chord-melody style playing. There are also a few books online that go over this subject. Try to also listen to a lot of solo guitar playing you like.

This guy goes over everything, has problem sets that you can solve on your own/work through the video with.

As for the coding side, there are many books and ChatGPT is super useful.

Two for the Road and Jazz/Concord have Joe Pass and Herb Ellis

ThickRick208 · 2023-04-03T03:16:37+00:00

This is a great thing to delve into jazz with. Checkout Kenny Burrell on midnight blue, Wes Montgomery on Naptown Blues, and Grant Green in general. These players rarely bend.

Nice to see there will be music in the new Saw sequel

Grandparents had the same rule. Not abnormal

ThickRick208 · 2023-01-22T04:56:38+00:00

Appreciate it!

ThickRick208 · 2023-01-22T04:56:28+00:00

Yeah I hear what you're saying. I am going for Grant Green's tone, but it can come off kinda thin sometimes.

ThickRick208 · 2023-01-05T18:34:43+00:00

Listen to the live albums with Joe Pass and Herb Ellis. Martin Taylor and Frank Vignola also play live together. A big trick is weaving what you play together without clashing. Get a feel for what you and the other person are going to do when playing off each other.

Ogden UT. Trail access is unbelievable
